Individual Spirit Of "sincerity" And Lu Xun's "life"

Lu Xun believed that the Chinese nationality is most deficient in honesty and love in 1902. Lu Xun considered how to transform the Chinese nationalistic from the latter Qing dynasty to the May Fourth, including calling the soldier in spirit and transforming the national spirit. Therefore, consideration in honesty should have the great importance position in Lu Xun's thought and literature, especially in his thought about transforming the national spirit .In this paper, we attempt to reply to three questions related to the transformation of the Chinese nationality from Lu Xun. First, what was related to Lu Xun's honesty in his mind? Second, how did Lu Xun demonstrate the china life in his eyes in his literature during the May Fourth by designing the characters at the request of Lu Xun's honesty? Third, how did Lu Xun also demonstrate his contradiction by designing the characters on the way to honesty and also provide his sincere?To the first question, we need to know the relation between Chinese tradition thought about honesty and Lu Xun's. And we also should search for the reason why Lu Xun pointed to the honesty in the moment that the nationalistic transformation was mentioned .I think it concerns with the establishment about the modern meaning of honesty. But this kind of establishment was the result of the Chinese society in the latter Qing dynasty when this country had involved in the modern advancement. At the same time, it was also the constitutive strength in the advancement and displayed its historic mission, which got rid of the feudal empire and slave and established modern nation-state and the modern individual .It caused Chinese thinkers related their survival significance and the value with this duty. During the latter Qing dynasty, Liang Qichao, Jiang Guanyun and Zhang Taiyan had made elaboration about honesty as the individual spirit. Lu Xun's judgment about the Chinese nationality and his elaboration about honesty related with theseDuring the latter Qing, the elaboration about honesty has provided three things. Firstly, both Chinese traditions thought about honesty and the Western thinker's articles had participated in the modern content establishment about honesty. Secondly, Lu Xun's honesty had inherited the former thinker's honesty with the development. Thirdly, it also demonstrated the forming process, which the intelligentsia had opposed to the slave in the spirit from the latter Qing dynasty thinkers' articles. Therefore, I think these thinkers had established the modern content of honesty in the meaning of revolting the customs of the time and the slave On the one hand, the modern individual has inherited the tradition meaning of honesty, for example, Don't Deceive Yourself, Self-examination. On the other hand, they also have accepted the ethics request on the individual which honesty had taken as the spirit, the morality moral character, the psychology and so on. Honesty as individual spirit should have the selfish ethics, which everyone should has oneself respectively, such as independence, the self-respect, bravery, etc. This selfish ethics is the premise that the individual undertakes the ethics mission determination of his patriotic sincerity. That is, honesty as benefiting other ethics firstly comes from honesty as selfish ethics.Answering the second and the third question, we need to seek answers in the literature character designed from Lu Xun's works during the May fourth. China's life has the different relations with the request of honesty as the individual spirit in the latter Qing dynasty in his eyes. What caused the difference? Firstly, did the character know about the knowledge about this ethics request? Secondly, did they practice this ethics request under the premise that the character knows the request? Thus, we may divide the literature character designed by Lu Xun into three kinds .The stupid didn't know and practice. The hypocrisy intelligentsia didn't practice although they know about the request .The heretic tired to practice the unity of knowledge and action.We can find the close relation between the design of china's life in Lu Xun's eyes and the elaboration about honesty in the latter Qing dynasty. This relation can be explained by the character of two kinds of life under this angle of honesty as the individual spirit. Through the choice and adjustment of narrator and narration angle, the idea system from the narrator's sensation provided two conditions that characters resided in honesty as the individual spirit or its reverse side When narrator criticized the character resided in the reverse side of honesty in majority of novel, it also has often provided the uniformity with the character in honesty. I think this situation is linked with Lu Xun's attitude about two meanings of honesty. On the one hand, Lu Xun adhered to the individual spirit ethics request. On the other hand, Lu Xun engaged in introspection on this ethics request through the self-examination, such as Don't Deceive Yourself. Both of them constituted the honest and sincere life and literature of Lu Xun, who had walked on the way approaching honesty in the contradiction of thought in all his life.
